boxing

by the older guy and undisputed

6 punches

-straights

*****turn punches over

-hooks

*****elbow at the same level as fist

-uppers

*****thrust your hips forward

drills on bag

-straights

*****2 straights, pause, 4 straights (standing in place)

*****2 straights, move to a different spot, 4 straights, move to a different spot

*****2 straights, jab while moving to right, 4 straights, jab while moving to left. repeat.

-hooks

*****2 hooks, pause, 4 hooks

-uppercut

*****2 ups, pause, 4 ups

block straight punches

-to face

****parry/push inward

****if punch comes on right side (their left), you push with your right hand

****if punch comes on left side (their right), you push with your left hand

****you scoop them in to make them lose balance

****small movements, your hand doesnt move far away from your face

-to body

****same thing as face but your parrying with inner edge of your elbow/forearm

****parry with elbow forearem because if you do it with your wrist/hand you might hit yourself or have your arms pinned to you or whatever

the turtle shell

-hands together. makes a v.

-2 places: either below eyes or over eyes (like eyebrows)

*****if below eyes, you can see them

*****if horns, you can only see your feet. look at feet. but don't look straight down

-keep hands together or they can punch through it

-elbows in and together

-crunch elbows to hips

-rotate side to side

-step back

kicks: horizontal and diagnoal

by jesie

diagnoal kick
-if body is open (elbows out)
-prone to elbows to shin contact if elbows are in. ouch.

horizontal kick
-"breaking the shell" (i think. cuz this written long after the class).
-if elbows are tucked in protecting their body

multiple kicks
-don't bring your kicking leg all the way back to normal fight stance cuz it's too slow

catching a kick and dumping them
-step inside, turn your outside shoulder inside, lift up, put your free hand on knee, and dump them forward
-you can take 2 steps forward max or it's called plowing, which is illegal in muay thai rules
-it's like an ankle lock grip
-it's like a reverse 1/x (the graph) motion
-so for example if he uses his right leg to kick my left side: my left hand catches, i step to the right, i rotate my body to the right after i catch, and i push him with left hand on his knee
-note: you turn your body if they do a diagonal kick without much body turn. cuz you need to turn them to get them unbalanced and to where they can't hit you.
-BUT: if they did a horizontal kick and they turned their hips over good, then you don't need to turn your body. because they are already turned. turning your body would just make dumping them harder because of the leverage.

kicks and knees

by erik the saturday guy

leg checks
-he had us warming up doing checks on each side
-your guard stays up, and your knee comes up
-he said you can lower your elbows/guard if you need to for blocking a little bit lower, but don't crunch your body down or your head can get kicked


throwing the right hand
-you should rotate to the point that your shoulder comes up to protect your chin
-you don't shrug your shoulder up
-the proper motion will raise your shoulders into the correct position


throwing the right kick
-the rotation motion is the same as throwing a right cross
-i needed to actually step out to make the correct angle and it felt better
-you lose power if you lean back on the kicks


switch kick
-switch should be short
-something about it can be a long switch but you have to be farther away
-(i'm writing this way after it happened so not remembering it all)
-i think if you switch too long you'll be too close or you'll have to lean back or something
-you don't want to lean back when you kick. he gave reasons but i don't remember.

the drill he had us do
-was throwing right hand, right kick
-left hand, left kick
-i think the point was that it should feel like the same motion

multiple speed kicks
-use your hands to pump so you dont have to use your (legs? body?) as much

knees
-if they pressure their way into you
-you bring the kneeing arm up and then down to your waist
-the reason is not because you need to pull them in. (but u can). it's to protect your face from strikes.
-so if i'm doing a right knee and they're pressuring forward into me: parry with left hand (maybe step back with left foot too) >> bring right hand up and right foot back >> right knee
-he said throwing the knee is the same motion as throwing a kick

rear leg kick

by marvin

3 types
-upward
-horizontal
-downward

setups for the 3 types
-the loading setup is complementary to the trajectory of the kick
-jab > upward
-hook > horizontal
-lead uppercut > downward

upward
-fastest
-quickest to recover back to fighting stance
-least powerful

downward
-the opposite of above

horizontal
-in between up/down

teep

by marvin
when ao8 was in that transition before becoming tbc

teep
-rechamber the teep unless you're stepping forward with it on purpose
-the front teep is shorter range than rear teep because base is the rear foot
-the rear teep is longer range because the base becomes the front foot

countering the teep
-there's the swipe like kru mark taught and the catch

swipe
-that's not the actual name i just dont know what to call it
-only swipe from the elbow down; keep your guard up
-you swipe with the diagonal hand. so your left hand would swipe their left foot. wouldn't matter if they did a lead or rear teep.
-you swipe and always lead their leg across their body

following up after the swipe
-whatever side your loaded on you follow up with a punch or a kick. so if i swipe with my right hand, to my right side, i follow up with a cross or a right kick

catch
-you catch like a football, one hand on top and one on bottom
-then you toss his leg across his body
-then you follow up like you did with the swipe
